I agree... all these people are saying that she wasone if "the greatest"... Sorry... She was good... but great?
She always sounded high to me... slurring her words..etc... Style? maybe so... But considering what has happened...
Unfortunately, most will remember her for thisperformance:
Shame....

Yep. She had a gift, and a look.
I have to confess that I didn't 'get' it about her at all. She could sing onkey without a doubt, but her voice was so mannered and affected that I couldn'tmake out a single word she was singing, and that was even when she wasrelatively clean.
It's sad someone that young dies, but really it was all her own doing. Mysympathies are somewhat restrained.
